Biography
Constantine Bereng Seeiso  was born in Morija, Basutoland on 2 May 1938, and he was educated in England and returned in 1960 to become paramount chief. He became King upon his country's independence as Lestoho, though his claim for a greater role in the day-to-day politics of his country led to his brief expulsion in 1970. Deposed after a military coup in 1990, the hugely popular king was reinstated after the intervention of Nelson Mandela and other regional leaders in 1995. He died in a car accident in January 1996.
